The Traffic Safety Task Force, formed in the wake of several accidents on campus, has recommended that the university add more signs near crosswalks and begin citing bikers on the Oval in an effort to increase on-campus safety. A safety message from Jay Kasey, senior vice president of Administration and Planning, and Javaune AdamsGaston, vice president of Student Life, was emailed to Ohio State students, faculty and staff Tuesday informing them of the safety task force’s recommendations. The email outlined short-term goals of adopting “a clear and strong set of rules of the road for all modes of transportation” with the hopes of reducing accidents on campus. Some of the short-term goals are set to be implemented within the next two months. Adams-Gaston said it will take the university that much time “to make sure that we are creating the right educational materials, make sure we’re getting the signage down in

Adams-Gaston said although the
date set for the suggestion was Oct. 1, there was a three-week window, so the task force was really only about a week past deadline. “As with any task force you’re working with a group of 35 people, you want to ensure you have the most
significant information,” she said. “Then we pass it forward to the president and then we put it out for public presentation.” Kasey said the university will be making sign changes to “very hazardous crosswalks on High Street” that will be visible to both pedestrians and drivers. Bicyclists will be required to dismount and walk their bikes across the Oval, according to the email, which will be the first area where certain modes of transportation will be restricted. “There will not be an enforcement officer on the Oval all the time. There will be periodic checks, there will be reminders, there will be education, and then finally we could cite people who ride their bikes across the Oval,” Kasey said. Adams-Gaston said citations will be issued to students not following the new regulations. She said there will be some “opportunity for citation without a fee” but then they plan to enforce citations later that will come with a fee. Kasey said the task force has met

2nd debate features economy, immigration michael burwell Lantern reporter burwell.37@osu.edu The economy, middle class and immigration were a few of the topics discussed during the second presidential debate between President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney Tuesday night. The debate, held at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., was in the format of a town hall meeting with questions asked by U.S. citizens who are undecided on who they will vote for on Nov. 6. Obama and Romney discussed the importance of creating jobs in the U.S. -- particularly manufacturing jobs and jobs for recent college graduates. They also talked about the importance of solar, coal and wind energy in the U.S. “The most important thing we can do is make sure we control our own energy,” Obama said. Romney and Obama agreed it was important that the U.S. is energy independent. “Let’s take advantage of the energy resources we have,” Romney said. “If we do that, if we do what
I’m planning on doing, which is getting us energy independent, North America energy independence within eight years, you’re going to see manufacturing jobs come back.” Other topics discussed by both candidates during the debate, which lasted about two hours, included immigration, assault weapons and the female workplace. Both candidates agreed the U.S. is “a nation of immigrants.” Obama said people all over the world need to feel that the U.S. is still the “land of promise.” Romney said that while Americans need to welcome legal immigrants into this country, illegal immigration needs to stop. The moderator for the debate was Candy Crowley, CNN chief political correspondent. She said the town hall participants consisted of 82 uncommitted voters from the New York area. The members of the audience were selected by the Gallup organization, according to the 2012 Election Central website. Paul Filippelli, executive director of the OSU College Democrats, said he thought Obama had the best performance of any debate in his career. “And that includes four years ago,” he said. “In
the last debate, he let Mitt Romney get away with a lot. He would just let Mitt Romney say all sorts of false things and he didn’t fight back. And this time he fought back and he fought back hard.” Niraj Antani, communications director for the OSU College Republicans called the debate “quite interesting.” Following the debate, he said Obama did better than he did during the first debate but thought Romney still trumped the president. “Gov. Romney won,” Antani said. “He articulated his views while the president blamed Romney.” The format worked to Romney’s advantage, Antani said, and thinks it showed he “can connect with the American people.” Analysts gave mixed reviews on the debate, but many claimed Obama to be the winner Tuesday evening. The third and final presidential debate will take place Monday at Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla. Results of a Tuesday seven-day rolling Gallup poll have Obama and Romney tied at 47 percent among registered voters with less than a month until the Nov. 6 presidential election.

Officials have yet to release details on last week’s Ohio State Newark campus bomb threat. The campus was closed for most of the day Oct. 9, but officials have said the case is still under investigation. Denny Hollern, public safety director at OSU-Newark told The Lantern last Thursday he cannot reveal how officials were notified, and that police found no evidence of suspicious packages or devices on campus. “All the academic buildings on our campus along with a couple support buildings were checked,” Hollern said. “Student Life pretty much took care of their own with the dormitory. So everything was checked.” Bomb-sniffing dogs from the Columbus Division Police, OSU Police and the Muskingum County Sheriff’s office were all on the scene Oct. 9.

to just walk down the street and you are constantly being asked for money,” Edelman said. “We do get emails from time to time saying, ‘This guy won’t stop asking me every day’ and I say, ‘Well how would you like it if you were trying to make a bit of money? If you don’t want to talk to him, don’t. Say no,’” Daigle said, not specifically referring to Ramirez but to email complaints in general. Though Edelman said she often doesn’t have cash on hand to buy a paper, Ramirez is never disrespectful. “The one thing about Joe is that he is never mean about not giving, but he puts a lot of pressure on when he asks every person that walks past him at Starbucks,” Edelman said. Despite being visually impaired, Ramirez said he recognizes just about everyone who regularly walks by, “not by name, but by face.” Though undergoing five surgeries to correct his sight, there is no cure for his uncontrolled glaucoma, a disease that leaves Ramirez blind in his left eye. Because of his difficulty with seeing at a distance, he feels embarrassed if he tries to sell a paper to the same person twice. Despite his setbacks, Ramirez prefers to maintain a positive attitude. “I always keep an open mind. People can’t always afford to buy the paper, but when they can, it’s a blessing,” Ramirez said. “It’s a free gift to be nice, why be mean? Life’s too short to be mean.”
For many people around campus, seeing Joseph Ramirez outside the Starbucks on High Street has become part of their daily routine. Whether he’s known as Joe, Joey or simply that guy selling newspapers, Ramirez has made his presence known. “Joey is probably one of the highlights of my day, it’s always nice to come to Starbucks and to see him,” said Aaron Clapper, a third-year in public affairs, as he high-fived Ramirez on his way to complete a midterm. Ramirez can often be spotted greeting passersby as people go about their day. While Ramirez said he is “the nicest guy you’ll ever meet” it wasn’t always that way. “I was a bad guy before I learned about the paper, you would never know who I was,” said Ramirez, a Chicago native. He has been living in Columbus for the past 20 years, selling papers on and off since the newspaper Street Speech began publication in 2008. Street Speech is published bimonthly by the Columbus Coalition for the Homeless and employs low-income individuals through a vendor program, according to its website. Upon completing training, vendors are issued a badge in order to sell papers, which they purchase for 25 cents and sell for $1. “We’re all responsible for our own lives and we can make it good or we can make it bad, and I decided to make mine better by selling this newspaper,” Ramirez said. Ian Craig, a graduate student in mathematics and an employee at Urban Outfitters, said Ramirez’s presence in front of the High Street store has become positive. “I think initially it was a negative effect — a lot of people don’t want to be bothered if they think they’re just being panhandled for money — but once you have an encounter with Joseph, it is definitely a positive effect,” Craig said. Ray Daigle, Street Speech vendor manager, said Ramirez has “done very well, he’s staked out his territory, his turf, if you will.” “It’s just amazing, how long he’ll stand out there. There are some people who stand out for half an hour and quit and go home for the day,” Daigle said.

Joseph Ramirez, Street Speech vendor, sells newspapers outside Starbucks on High Street on Sept. 23. Ramirez has been selling the paper since 2008 and typically makes his sales on OSU’s campus. Ramirez can usually be spotted working from 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. four days a week and said there is a strategy behind his schedule. “I try to give two, three days off so the students don’t get too tired of me, too sick of me,” Ramirez said, adding he tries to find other work in construction, moving or security. On an average day, Ramirez said he sells about 40 papers, which translates to roughly $5 an hour when cost of the paper is deducted from his sales. Ohio minimum wage is $7.70. According to its website, Street Speech generated more than $33,000 in its first 16 months for those who needed money to meet their basic needs. Included in Street Speech’s code of conduct is a
strict no drugs and alcohol policy, and Ramirez said he doesn’t want any “bad apples messing up the program.” “I’m a very, very strict individual when it comes to people doing drugs ‘cause I don’t want people to misuse other people’s money that they worked so hard for. Especially the students, they’re not always rich and I know struggle too with high tuition,” Ramirez said. Morgan Edelman, a third-year in speech and hearing science, lived on 14th Avenue last year and said although Ramirez is friendly when he asks for money, it does become repetitive. “I don’t see a problem with him being near campus, but it gets annoying when you are trying

Obama’s visit provides students inside look at campaign max mauerman For the Lantern mauerman.3@osu.edu For some students, President Barack Obama’s Oct. 9 campus visit was not simply another political spectacle but a chance to see the inner workings of Obama’s campaign. Obama For America, the president’s campaign team, recruited about 200 volunteers to help register voters and run behind-thescenes tasks at the event. The Ohio State College Democrats worked in tandem with OFA to plan and organize the event. Obama’s visit fell on the final day of voter registration in Ohio. During his speech, Obama encouraged the crowd of about 15,000 to take advantage of Ohio’s early voting hours and to vote immediately. OFA provided a fleet of buses to take voters to Columbus’ early voting location at 1700 Morse Road after the event. These tasks all put the small army of student volunteers to work. For many students involved, the visit was not just a chance to see the president, but a way to get civically engaged. Candice Staley, a first-year in film studies and transfer student from the University of Cincinnati, said she volunteered because she wanted to get involved during her first year at OSU. “Being a volunteer at the rally was such a great experience because it gave me the opportunity to be a part of something so big,” Staley said. “I met a lot of people and got the experience to see what went into a campaign that you normally wouldn’t see from the outside.” For others, it wasn’t their first time volunteering with a campaign. Rachel Cohen, a second-year in political science and communication, is an intern for Ohio Sen. Sherrod Brown and a member of College Democrats. She said that, in addition to VIP access, volunteers got a perspective on the event that regular attendees did not. “As a volunteer, I saw more of the work that went into the event in the days leading up to it,” Cohen said. Volunteers found themselves working closely with OFA to do things like set up the event the day before, manage traffic and run entrance security with the Secret Service.

President Barack Obama greets the crowd during his Oct. 9 visit to OSU’s campus. Hundreds of students volunteered to help out with the event. “Every single person matters, whether it’s someone passing out water or blocking off traffic,” said Josh Ahart, president of College Democrats. “Or chanting louder than the protestors.” The Buckeye State has been a crucial stop for presidential nominees, evident from their routine stops in different parts of the state. Columbus in particular has been the target of many visits, affording OSU students a unique opportunity to get politically involved. “OSU could literally swing the state of Ohio,” Ahart said. Tuesday’s visit to the Oval was Obama’s fifth to OSU in two years. Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney was in Central
Ohio last week when he visited Delaware, Ohio, on Oct. 10, about 30 minutes north of Columbus, and Lancaster, Ohio, about 40 minutes from Columbus, Friday. A televised debate between Obama and Romney was held Tuesday. The 9 p.m. town hall-style debate was at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y. Results of a Tuesday seven-day rolling Gallup poll have Obama and Romney tied at 47 percent among registered voters with less than a month until the Nov. 6 presidential election.

Safety from 1A with the Department of Public Safety about how and when to start enforcement. “It won’t be simply we’re writing tickets. It will be educational, getting groups of students, stopping students on bicycles, informing them on what the rules of the road are,� Kasey said. “But eventually, I don’t know if it will be two weeks from now or two months, but it will come that we will write tickets and that will get around quick. Adams-Gaston said she expects the recommendations will take six months to be fully implemented. But for one biker, the recommendations weren’t implemented soon enough. According to the the Columbus Division of Police, there was an accident between a biker and a vehicle near 15th Avenue and High Street Tuesday just after 4:30 p.m. Chelseay Thomas, second-year in zoology, was coming home from class at about 5:15 p.m. and said the car involved in the accident was still at the scene. “There was glass in the street, the windshield was all cracked in and there was glass in the car,� she said.
Newark from 1A On the day of the threat, students, professors and staff members were notified of the threat via Buckeye Alert System and the Newark campus alert system, and all employees received the notice through voice mail. Signs were also posted on the doors of each campus building and an alert on the university’s website advised everyone to evacuate in a “calm and orderly manner.� Hollern said all building were evacuated wihtin “several minutes� and as soon as faculty were notified. However some students said their knowledge of the threat wasn’t as timely. Although OSU’s emergency management sent out a tweet at 9:22 a.m. announcing the Newark campus would be closed until further notice, Mahad Abid, a first-year in biology at OSU-Newark, said Monday he received a Buckeye alert email at about 10:21 a.m. alerting him of the bomb threat. A few minutes later, Abid said his geography professor received a phone call telling him to evacuate the building. “We saw cop cars just coming and coming, asking questions,� Abid said. “I don’t know how serious it was, but I thought it was a joke. Like someone was prank calling, so I didn’t take it seriously.�
The task force will also begin assessing ways to reduce delivery, maintenance and construction traffic throughout campus, especially in the campus core. The email also addressed the task force’s long-term goal of creating “a campus culture that is accommodating and respectful of all modes of transportation.� The email stated that the university will encourage the City of Columbus to evaluate the status of heavily traveled streets such as High Street, and to make efforts to improve the safety of these areas. Kasey did not know the cost to implement the recommendations. OSU President E. Gordon Gee charged the group with the task of coming up with measures the university should take to enhance campus safety on Sept. 7. Safa Salman, a third-year Ph.D. student in electrical engineering, also said the recommendations were too little, too late. “The question is what else can the administration do that they have not done yet,� she said. “I’m pretty sure signage doesn’t really help.� Hannah Brokenshire and Ally Marotti contributed to this article.
Abid said it took him 35 minutes to leave campus because of the heavy traffic on campus. Brittany Lloyd, a first-year at OSU-Newark, said she was frightened when she first heard of the threat on Oct. 9. “I was in Warner Library just doing some math,� Lloyd said in an email. “It was around 10:30 (a.m.) when a lady came running upstairs yelling,‘There’s a bomb threat, you guys need to evacuate now.’� Students and faculty at OSU’s Columbus campus were not notified of the threat because OSU public safety policy says “they were not deemed to be in immediate danger and therefore no notification is needed.� Despite the policy, some students at OSU’s Columbus campus were upset they did not receive an email notifying them of the threat. “We should have been notified here because we’re all OSU students and any threat to an OSU community is a concern to us,� said Tyler Bonta, a second-year in criminal psychology at OSU’s Columbus campus Thursday. While the evacuation was taking place in Newark, students, staff and volunteers on the Columbus campus were preparing for a visit from President Barack Obama later that day. Normal campus operations resumed at 5:30 p.m.

Meyer: Instead of ‘joy,’ Indiana win a ‘relief’ evan speyer Senior Lantern reporter speyer.10@osu.edu A week after giving up 49 points to Indiana, No. 7 Ohio State (7-0, 3-0 Big Ten) is scheduled to host Purdue (3-3, 0-2 Big Ten) this weekend. Escaping Bloomington, Ind., after nearly relinquishing OSU’s 18-point lead in the fourth quarter was more of a relief than a joyous celebration, Buckeyes’ first-year coach Urban Meyer said. Meyer addressed the Buckeyes’ great escape from Bloomington and Purdue coach Danny Hope likened OSU’s offense to that of the Wisconsin Badgers during the weekly Big Ten teleconference Tuesday. Meyer addresses the defense, again Earlier this week Meyer indicated that he would be more involved with the team’s defense. The first-year coach provided insight on what exactly he will be doing to improve a unit that has allowed an average of 43.5 points in the last two games. “It’s my job to prepare the team and we are having some struggles on defense,” Meyer said. Though his fingerprints will likely be more prominent on this week’s defensive game plan, Meyer indicated that he is not trying to undermine his coaching staff. “In no way am I going to go in there and change what we do,” Meyer said. “I’m just going to support our staff and support our players.” Meyer said the defense’s performance was “painful to watch” against Indiana and admitted that when the Buckeyes recovered an onside kick late in the game to secure a victory, he had trouble enjoying the moment. “Instead of the joy of victory, it was relief that the whole thing was over,” Meyer said. An improved offensive line The defense might be struggling, but Meyer said that he is very pleased with the team’s running game and, in particular, with the play of the offensive line. Meyer said the unit has come a long way since he took over as OSU’s coach. “The area that’s most improved is our offensive line play,” Meyer said. “They are not playing perfect, but they’re playing much better than they have since our staff’s been here. (I’m) very pleased with that so far.” The offensive line might have been instrumental in the Buckeye’s 52-49 win against Indiana, as OSU rushed for 353 yards.

OSU football sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller (left) is greeted by Buckeyes coach Urban Meyer after the team’s Oct. 6 63-38 win against Nebraska at Ohio Stadium. “The offensive line is giving them a chance,” said Indiana coach Kevin Wilson. “I think (it’s) one of the reasons they are playing at a high level and scoring points.” Badgers like the Buckeyes? This might be the first and only time you hear someone say the Buckeyes’ spread offense is similar to Wisconsin’s smash-mouth style. Both teams would prefer to run than pass, but OSU tends to line up in the shotgun, spread out with multiple receivers, while Wisconsin plays tight, “I-form” football. However, Hope said that there is a glaring similarity between the two offenses. “Wisconsin is a physical football team with great backs and Ohio State is a physical football team with great backs,” Hope said. Purdue didn’t fair well against Wisconsin’s “great backs,” last week. The Badgers gashed Purdue’s defense for 467 yards rushing while senior running back Montee Ball rushed for a career-high 247 yards. This weekend poses, perhaps, an even tougher challenge for Purdue’s defense, as they travel to Columbus to face the nation’s eighth best rushing offense. The Buckeyes average 263.6 yards per game on the ground this season. “We’re going to have to tackle somebody,” Hope said.

Dual-threat déjà vu Michigan and Michigan State will face off in their annual meeting this weekend in a contest with major conference implications on the line. The Spartans are 1-2 in conference play, and a loss to their in-state rival would effectively eliminate them from the race for the Big Ten title. Michigan State has won the last four meetings against Michigan, but the Spartans have never won five in a row against the Maize and Blue. In order to capture its historic victory, MSU will likely need to contain Michigan’s senior quarterback Denard Robinson. The Spartans faced a similar challenge on Sept. 29 against OSU when sophomore Braxton Miller torched the MSU defense for 136 yards rushing. Miller and Robinson are both athletic quarterbacks who can extend plays that would otherwise end in losses, and then turn them into big gains. Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said that in order to win, his Spartans have to tackle Robinson when they get the chance. “It’s those loose plays, when you have a guy bottled up, it’s those plays that cause you a lot of anguish,” Dantonio said. Miller currently ranks as the nation’s sixth best rusher with 912 yards on the season. Robinson trails him with 804 yards, but the senior has played in one less game.

OSU freshman forward Peanut Johnson (3) chases down a ball against Michigan State during an Oct. 5 game at Buckeye Varsity Field in Columbus. OSU lost, 1-0.
Of the seven true freshmen on the Ohio State field hockey team, one is standing out offensively and her name is a little nutty. While the freshman forward’s real name is Elise Johnson, everyone knows her as Peanut. “When I was born, my head was shaped like a peanut. So my parents called me that and next thing I know everyone is calling me that,” Johnson said. While at Oakwood High School in Dayton, Ohio, Johnson was a three-time first-team All-Ohio player and attended a tryout with the the United States Women’s Field Hockey Association Under-19 national team . In her first year in collegiate field hockey, Johnson has played in 14 of OSU’s 15 games, starting six contests and coming into the game as a sub in eight of the others. “She’s got a lot of great energy coming off of the side and it takes a while to learn the different systems that we play. I think she has done a great job adjusting,” said Buckeyes coach Anne Wilkinson. Senior back and team captain Laura Napolitano said it seems the team always has one freshman that steps up to help out and Peanut has adjusted very well to the faster college game. Johnson did not come to OSU
expecting to have a big role with the team but just hoping to improve it. “I just came here hoping to contribute any way I could. So if the goals come, that’s great, I just want to help out,” Johnson said. Of all seven freshmen, she has the most goals and assists, with five and three respectively. She also leads the Buckeyes in shot on goal percentage, Johnson has 19 shots and 16 were on goal for a .842 percentage. “She’s very, very dangerous with that ball. She can get in behind defenders very quick,” Wilkinson said. “She’s really tricky and hard to read when she has it.” Her best individual game came on Sept. 23 during a 10-1 victory against visiting Missouri State. Coming off the bench, Johnson had an assist to sophomore midfielder Mona Frommhold for OSU’s third point and netted the seventh and eight goals for the Buckeyes. “Peanut has really stepped up and made a big impact for our team so far. The pressure, I don’t think, gets to her and there have been times that we’ve relied on her a lot,” Napolitano said. OSU’s next game is scheduled to be against No. 7 Penn State on Friday at Buckeye Varsity Field. “I’m excited just from hearing about it. I haven’t experienced it yet but I heard it’s a big rivalry,” Johnson said. “It’s going to be a physical game, and just all around Penn State is a good team.”
‘The Torg’ silenced after wishing death to Desmond Howard Pat Brennan Sports editor brennan.164@osu.edu The Ohio State-Michigan football rivalry is a passionate subject for many, and Columbus radio host Scott Torgerson let that passion get the better of him. Torgerson, a co-host of “The Common Man and The Torg” show on WBNS 97.1 The Fan in Columbus, was suspended by the radio station after wishing death on former Michigan football star and current ESPN analyst Desmond Howard. The suspension is indefinite, according to multiple reports. Howard currently works as a co-host for ESPN’s traveling, live college football show, “College GameDay.” 97.1 The Fan also happens to be an ESPN affiliate. From his Twitter account, @myguythetorg, Torgerson tweeted Saturday: “I wish Desmond Howard would get fired or die so I can watch Gameday again.” Torgerson later issued an apology on Twitter, saying: “My Desmond Howard tweet was a joke. I think if you listen to the show you know that. My apologizes to those who took it serious. Total joke.”
The apology arrived too late for Kirk Herbstreit and Howard’s wife. Herbstreit, an ESPN analyst, co-host of “College GameDay” with Howard, and former OSU quarterback, criticized Torgerson during “The Kirk Herbstreit Show,” which airs on 97.1 The Fan. “I think what Desmond Howard had to deal with over the weekend is disgusting and very sad,” Herbstreit said. “I don’t know the reason behind it, but the tweet from an individual that works at the radio station was above and beyond, I think, what was acceptable … There’s so much more I wish I could say about that and I’ll choose not to … To me he crossed a line and that’s just completely unacceptable.” Howard’s wife, Rebkah Howard, responded to Torgerson on Twitter as well. From Rebkah Howard’s Twitter account, @ pink_funk, she said: “(thanks) for the ‘apologizes’. Are you fortunate enough to be a father? Know who didn’t get your ‘total (dead) joke’? Our daughter.” Torgerson did not immediately respond to The Lantern’s Tuesday request for comment.

Comedy queens raise the bar for Globes

The only thing I love more than unhealthy food is comedy. So when news broke Monday night that comedy queens Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are scheduled to host the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards on Jan. 13, airing on NBC, I had a minor panic attack and then proceeded to high-five a million angels. From the duo’s side-by-side political roles of Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton on “Saturday Night Live,” to playing polar opposites in the comedy “Baby Mama,” Fey and Poehler have proven they have flawless comedic chemistry. For the past three years, Ricky Gervais has hosted the Golden Globes, and before that, the show never had a regular host. Gervais is a pretty funny guy, but it was definitely time to pass the torch. Who better to follow a comedy king than two comedy queens? Sometimes when an award show has co-hosts who aren’t compatible with each other, it bombs (enter Anne Hathaway and James Franco’s 2011 Oscars trainwreck). The fact that Fey and Poehler are friends and have worked with each other before almost makes the 70th Annual Golden Globes a guaranteed success. It goes without mentioning that the bar of expectations is raised for this duo. This won’t mark the first time for Poehler and Fey gaining attention at an award show. Poehler is notorious for planning
comedy bits with her fellow nominees at the Primetime Emmy Awards. In 2009, she was nominated for “Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series,” and when the nominees’ names were read, some of the women sported funny eyewear (Poehler wore an eye patch). In 2011, Poehler (“Parks and Recreation”) and Fey (“30 Rock”) were both nominated for “Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.” As the nominees were announced, each woman ran up on stage and joined hands as they waited to hear who won. Melissa McCarthy won for “Mike & Molly,” and along with her Emmy was presented with a crown and bouquet of flowers as if she had just won a beauty pageant. The bit resulted in a standing ovation from the audience. Poehler’s funniest stunt to date happened at last month’s 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards. When Julia Louis-Dreyfus won the award for “Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series,” Poehler got up to congratulate her and “accidentally” switched Louis-Dreyfus’ acceptance speech with her own. When LouisDreyfus made it to the microphone, she began reading Poehler’s speech, prompting Poehler to run up to the stage and switch the speeches back. Poehler had added in a line at the end of Louis-Dreyfus’ speech: “Lastly, isn’t it a shame that Amy Poehler didn’t win?” to which Poehler, with pencil in hand and mouthing the words as Louis-Dreyfus read them aloud, nodded in agreement. If Poehler and Fey make such a scene at award shows where they are

Ever since Poehler was snubbed of the title of “Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series” for her role as Leslie Knope in “Parks and Recreation” at last month’s Emmys, I’ve been sort of annoyed with award shows. While the bit she performed with Louis-Dreyfus was hilarious, I still think Poehler deserved to win. But the fact that the organization behind the Globes, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, has answered my prayers and made Fey and Poehler co-hosts for this year’s show has restored my faith in award

shows. Adding to the fact that they are arguably the two funniest women of our time, the Golden Globes isn’t exactly the most prestigious or glamorous awards show out there, which will definitely allow the pair to cause more mayhem and, hopefully, incorporate a bit more profanity. Honestly, Fey and Poehler could be hosting an episode of “Antiques Roadshow” and still have America laughing. While the Golden Globes is still a few months away, having Fey and Poehler host is like having Li’l Sebastian appear at the Pawnee Harvest Festival on “Parks and Recreation” — everyone will have their eyes glued to the main attraction.
Leftover Salmon did its first show on New Year’s Eve in 1989 as a one night gig in Crested Butte, Colo. Twenty-three years and seven albums later, the band is back on tour under the name that guitarist and vocalist Vince Herman proposed as a joke on that fateful night in ’89. Drew Emmitt, string instrumentalist and occasional flute player for the band, is also considered a founding member of Leftover Salmon. Emmitt offered up some of his bandmates from his band Left Hand String Band to Herman’s band, which was named Salmon Heads at the time. On the way to the band’s first show, Herman, joking, said the merger of the two bands could be called “Leftover Salmon” for the night. The name stuck. Leftover Salmon is scheduled to perform 7 p.m. Wednesday at Newport Music Hall. The band denotes its combination of bluegrass, rock, country and Cajun sound by the title “Polyethnic Cajun Slamgrass.” Emmitt said the band draws its influences from rock band Blues Traveler, country musician Waylon Jennings and The Rolling Stones. Emmitt said over the years the group has “gone away from the Cajun/Polyethnic sound a little bit and started leaning more towards the rock ‘n’ roll sound.” Since its formation, Leftover Salmon has rotated through several band members, but the central three
have been Emmitt, Herman and former banjoist Mark Vann, who died of cancer in 2002. The band put out its first album, “Bridges to Bert,” in 1993. After the release of its self-titled album “Leftover Salmon” in 2004, the band went on hiatus from recording new material for a few years, but got back together in 2007 for a few shows, which led to the new album and tour. Leftover Salmon released “Aquatic Hitchhiker” this year, and began its fall tour Oct. 2 in Millvale, Pa. “We went on a brief hiatus, but after a few years I really wanted to give it another shot, so I called up our manager to see if he thought there would (be) any interest,” Emmitt said. “He told me that he had already (received) a few calls, so we agreed to do a few shows to test the water. After that we were ready to go right back to it.” Ohio State alumnus Erin Scholze, who works for Dreamspider Publicity and is Leftover Salmon’s publicist, said the band is expecting a big turnout in Columbus. “There is a big buzz about the show,” Scholze said. “All of the shows have been nice and full this tour.” John Joy of Red Underground Management, the band’s manager, said people can expect diversity from the show. “The band has over 300 songs to pull from, both covers and originals,” Joy said. “They mix it up every night. They have been loving playing the new tunes and have been throwing a handful of them in nightly.” Tickets are available for $20 in advance through Ticketmaster or $25 at the door.
Although Samantha Brown is more than capable of navigating herself through a foreign country, the Travel Channel star prefers getting lost instead — and the cute foreigners that come with it. Brown, who hosts shows such as “Samantha Brown: Passport to Great Weekends,” “Samantha Brown: Passport to China” and “Great Vacation Homes” on Travel Channel, brought a contagious travel bug with her to Ohio State. “Put the map away, get lost, get out of the tourist centers and just be a part of everyday life,” Brown told a crowd at the Ohio Union’s US Bank Conference Theater Monday as part of an Ohio Union Activities Board-sponsored event. “It takes so much confidence to get on a plane and go to a different country,” Brown said. She also said traveling is much more than just the cost of travelling and deciding which museums to visit. It is also about the emotional value of the trip. “Traveling strengthens bonds of friendship and family and is an investment in your life,” Brown said. “It’s more than the places you visit, it’s how they make you feel.” Brown listed her top reasons to travel, including the opportunity to challenge yourself, to see the man-made wonders of the world and to be overwhelmed by nature. Two of Brown’s favorite places to visit, she said, are the Grand Canyon and the Great Wall of China. Brown emphasized the importance of pushing past the everyday tourist spots in a country and traveling to the heart of an area to experience “the effort that’s cultivated the soul of a place.” Besides getting lost and becoming immersed in the cultures of foreign countries, Brown also advised the attendees to never doubt their instincts when traveling. “Always trust your body and what it’s telling you,” Brown said. “I’ve discovered that the little hairs on the back of my neck have always been right.” Brown cited an example where she was walking alone in Belize and felt unsafe, but she did not elaborate on what happened. Some students at the event said they enjoyed Brown’s stories and that they have caught the travel bug as well. “I’ve always watched her show (“Passport to Europe”) and have wanted to do what she does,” said Alex Day, a second-year in early childhood education who has traveled to Nicaragua for service trips.

studentvoice Safety task force fails to address root of the problem LANTERN STAFF If you have been following The Lantern this semester, you will have noticed that we have been covering the students involved in accidents this fall. We saw James Daniel Hughes, a first-year student who was hit by a dump truck on Woodruff Avenue as he was taken away to the Wexner Medical Center in an ambulance, where he remains today. We have talked to those who know the injured students best: their parents, their brothers, their sisters and their friends. We’ve heard about their stories of survival, recovery, loss and hope. For those still in the hospital, we call weekly for reports on their conditions. We’ve become invested in their stories and root for their recoveries. When Ohio State President E. Gordon Gee announced last month the creation of a safety task force, we sat back and waited for a solution. We didn’t know what it would recommend on Oct. 1, but we awaited something that would equate change.
Oct. 1 came and went with no word on those recommendations, no news of change to report. And on Tuesday, two weeks later than promised, those safety recommendations were announced, and we’re left with one question: What was the point? The recommendations that arrived in the inbox of students and faculty are underwhelming. The fact that the recommendations are not scheduled to be fully implemented for another six months will make no immediate impact on campus. Extra signs near crosswalks and making students walk their bicycles on the Oval will not make campus safer. Even those changes aren’t expected to be implemented on campus for another four to six months. Why the delay? When six months is up, we will be wrapping up the school year and students will be moving on. Even now, the August and September accidents are fading from people’s minds. The memory of first-
year student who had to leave OSU before she really even got started will be a distant memory. Many students won’t remember the student who was struck by a High Street bicyclist on Sept. 6, but that doesn’t make her recovery any less important. These people won’t be thought of every day. We might not be calling to check up on them, people might stop caring. Which is why we need a real change on campus, one that can’t be achieved by “enhanced signage� or better marked crosswalks. These suggestions are an insult to the students who have been injured in the campus area. They are unacceptable and more must be done quickly. The task force must try again or take a different approach. Fixing this safety issue won’t be easy, and there is no easy solution. However, measures can be taken that go above and beyond additional signs. The university could cut back on construction during peak times students are on campus. No improvement is so important that
students should be endangered by traffic congestion, pattern changes or industrial equipment. Save the larger tasks for the three-and-a-half month summer break. I know these projects can take months, even years to complete, but we should be planning smarter. No one should have to walk under a crane on their way to class, such as the one that has hovered over people walking by the Mathematics Tower. Stop trying to narrow the roads. The narrowed roads on Woodruff Avenue are unlikely to encourage anyone to cut back on driving, but instead add more frustration and danger to drivers, pedestrians and cyclists trying to navigate campus. Focus on the problem that signs can’t fix. It’s easy to put up a sign, but just as easy to ignore one. If a culture change on campus is desired, more than just talking about it needs to happen. Traffic rules need to be enforced by University Police, and not in two, four or six months: we need enforcement now. What has been suggested is not enough.
From start to finish, don’t run out of attitude, carbs during Sunday’s Columbus Marathon campus Editor
My favorite part about the 2012 Columbus Marathon is that I’m not running in it. I’ve run it twice before, in 2010 and 2011, but this year I decided to mix things up and ran in the Kristen mitchell Oct. 7 Chicago mitchell.935@osu.edu Marathon instead. About a week-and-a-half after the race, my legs have stopped feeling like jelly and I can walk without issue. Feeling much better than I was last week, I’m looking forward to watching my Dad and some friends run this Sunday. However, the memories of last week’s race have lingered, and inspired me to offer some advice to my fellow runners. When it comes to the race in Columbus, I would suggest starting out slow. The morning of the race is expected to be chilly, and straining a hamstring in mile four won’t do you any favors. While I’m on the topic of temperature, I would suggest that everyone bring gloves. In Chicago, it was about 45 degrees when the race started, and didn’t get more than 10 degrees warmer. Throughout the race, when I saw friends on the sidelines cheering, I couldn’t even move my hand or separate my fingers to wave to them. Rough.
My next suggestion is an obvious one: carb up. The week before my marathon, I didn’t carb up like I had in previous years, unless you consider eating cookies, popcorn and pizza “carbing up.� Eat well and drink lots of water during the next few days. You’ll be glad you did. If you’re running the half marathon, you’re lucky. The majority of the race will be in the heart of downtown Columbus where you will be surrounded by cheering fans. The marathon runners aren’t so lucky: you’ll be routed out to West Campus — and I don’t mean Lincoln and Morrill Towers, I mean the agricultural campus and beyond. Be prepared for miles of pavement and a decline in the support system you felt downtown. I’ll warn you now, almost no one will be out between miles 19 and 24, just where you will want them the most. I don’t want to discourage anyone, but you’ve been warned. Try to encourage friends and family to venture out there to cheer you on. The race course is pretty flat overall so there will be a lot of people starting out fast. I would definitely say if you’re running the full marathon and feel like you keep getting passed by other runners, check their race bibs as they run by. Most of the runners are registered for the half marathon, so don’t worry about them. They might be flying by, but you’re running twice as far — an important detail. I will leave you all with a piece of advice from our good pal Henry Ford that I have always found helpful: “If you think you can do it, or you think you can’t do it, you are right.� Attitude is everything, and I’ll see you from the sidelines.

CD Reviews Godspeed You! ascends Jason Aldean’s ‘Night ‘Former Lives’ album post-rock sound Train’ rolls home should be forgotten ZACH LOW Lantern reporter low.65@osu.edu On its first studio album in 10 years, “Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend!” the post-rock godfathers Godspeed You! Black Emperor return in rare form. Formed in Montreal in 1994, the band spent the better part of a decade pushing sonic boundaries. With the apocalyptic drive of 1997’s “F# A# ∞” and the band’s other albums, the collective produced headphone-melting instrumental tracks, paving the way for bands such as Explosions in the Sky and Sigur Rós. But after 2002’s “Yanqui U.X.O.,” the group fell silent until 2010, when new tour dates were announced. Two years later, rumors of new material finally became a reality. The four-track album “Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend!” opens with a familiar sound from the band: a vocal sample, distorted and looped into a mantra. Opening track “Mladic” continues with some obvious Middle Eastern influence filtered through the band’s signature metal-infused noise. As “Mladic” clocks in at around 20 minutes, listeners might initially find the album daunting. But the great thing about a Godspeed You! Black Emperor song has always been that, like Ohio weather, if you just wait a minute, it’ll change.

“Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend!” Godspeed You! Black Emperor
A
By the 10-minute mark of “Mladic,” what began as eerie and reserved has blasted off into the stratosphere with far-away licks and perfectly manipulated feedback. The track reaches a stunning climax. Rarely has the adjective “epic” felt more earned in modern rock. The creeping, drone-based “Their Helicopters Sing” follows, leading into “We Drift Like Worried Fire,” another 20-minute piece. It’s more leisurely paced than its predecessor but still moves with a slowly building dread until strings begin to swell, coiling with distorted riffs that reach ever-upward. “Strung Like Lights At Thee Printemps Erable” ends the record with another droning groove, leaving us delightfully off-balance. With “Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend!” Godspeed You! Black Emperor reclaims the post-rock throne by simply doing what it does best: making dense, complicated music of great tension and deep beauty.
CAITLIN ESSIG Asst. arts editor essig.21@osu.edu The beautiful thing about country music is its ability to touch on so many aspects of life, reminding you of both the wonders and tragedies that influence our everyday lives. Jason Aldean understands this as well as any country musician today, and he proves it on his latest album “Night Train,” which released Tuesday. The album’s first single, “Take A Little Ride” is a powerful, guitar-driven track that is best listened to as loud as possible, while singing/shouting along. Aldean sings, “Well I’m just ready to ride this Chevy / Ride this Chevy down a little back road / Slide your pretty little self on over / Get a little closer, turn up the radio,” in what was one of this summer’s best country anthems. As with most albums, this one has a few misses (the awkwardly rap-infused “1994” and depressing “Black Tears”) but Aldean makes me fall in love again with songs such as “Staring at the Sun,” a sweet song about being in love with a woman he’s crazy about. “She holds on / Stuck in your head like an old song / She ain’t going away,” he sings. “Walking Away” is another

B+
of the album’s best, as Aldean sings to a woman that she should give up on trying to save him. And “Night Train” is an instant favorite, about sneaking off at night with his girl. “This Nothin’ Town” makes me crave summer and being at home in my small town, with lyrics that claim “There’s always something going down in this nothin’ town.” While I cannot imagine myself writing an ode to a water tower, I can appreciate the message behind the album’s final track, “Water Tower,” which is about coming home. “Slowin’ down and drivin’ in / I can finally breathe again / It’s like I found a long lost friend / God I’ve missed this town,” is often how I feel when returning to my own hometown. As an album, “Night Train” makes my heart ache for home, which is what I look for in country music. It’s a little messy in parts, but so is life.
ZACH LOW Lantern reporter low.65@osu.edu In “Former Lives,” the first solo album from Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service frontman Benjamin Gibbard, the singer just goes through the motions, indulging in his weaker instincts. Nothing announces, “Look, a solo album!” like a singer harmonizing with himself. On the opening track, “Shepherd’s Bush Lullaby,” Gibbard does just that in lazy, a capella verse, going so far as to provide his own backing “bum bum bums.” The album properly kicks in on “Dream Song,” with the rhythmic strums from Aimee Mann, who is featured on the album. Gibbard sings “The cameras photograph everything,” and you wonder: how much of his public divorce with Zooey Deschanel will be on display here? With lines that mention “the actress,” we might have our answer. There have been many great albums made that dive into the dissolution of a marriage, but this isn’t one of them. The specifics remain vague and Gibbard is decidedly more content to try on whatever hat he fancies from song to song. On the duet “Bigger than Love,” Mann gives her best,

but Gibbard hasn’t done her any favors lyrically. Crooning “It’s bigger than love / Brighter than all the stars combined,” it seems that Gibbard has run out of meaningful metaphors. Indeed, there’s little here to love. The mariachi swing of “Something’s Rattling (Cowpoke)” at least offers a break from the familiar. And while “Lady Adelaide” and “Broken Yolk in Western Sky” offer some genuine loveliness in the backstretch, they ultimately do little to improve the album as a whole. It’s been years since Gibbard has approached anything resembling greatness, arguably since Death Cab’s 2003 release of “Transatlanticism.” Unfortunately, this new album only continues his streak of mediocrity. These “former lives” should’ve remained forgotten, and the songs inspired by them will most likely end up that way.
